Student Falconship
What is a Falconship?
Falconships are innovative short-term programs that have taken the world by storm. Unlike internships
that have existed for decades, Falconships differ in their implementation and flexibility.
Micro-Internships are short-term, paid, professional engagements by different organizations
and are usually offered virtually. These engagements or projects usually last between
5 to 40 hours of work, all are paid, and opportunities occur consistently throughout
the year.
Your Falconship will connect you with experiential learning opportunities outside of the classroom of which you may not otherwise have been made aware. These precise, project-based positions—often in areas such as business, marketing, data entry, content creation, and so much more—provides employers a scalable way to engage with you and allows you to explore career interests and develop your professional resume. Falconships complement existing experiential learning and may appeal to those who do not have the financial or academic flexibility to re-locate for a full-time internship.
